This review happened in April 2025. My wife and went to Oahu, Hawaii for vacation. We visited the USS Arizona Memorial and Musuem and if you're in Hawaii you have to visit, this location was where the WWII started for the United States and because the USS Missouri is also located in that area it's also the location of where the WWII ended for the United States. It's a somber location and you have to go with the understanding that it's also a graveyard. So be respectful! Silence your cellphone and please if you have kids just remind them to be on their best behavior. There is a museum and a video to watch (I recommend you watch the video and the walk the museum after the boat ride to the USS Arizona Memeorial). There are lots of artifacts to look at and the videos with the survivors are moving. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and there are plenty of bathrooms and even a few snack shacks around. There is even a museum store. The later it gets in the day the busier the memorial becomes so I recommend you go early. You do need a ticket for the boat ride over to the USS Arizona Memorial, so go early or get a ticket head of time. They do run out. I highly recommend you visit; every year we are losing more and more WWII veterans. We have to honor the greatest generation before they are all gone.

"Don’t take a tour just get dropped off. Memorial tour is free admission"

We had a hire car and drove to the museum. There’s paid parking. You can book online but it said sold out. But we went to the desk and got on a standby list. They text you when there’s spots. We got one immediately. There’s a ferry boat takes you over and back. It’s all free for that and two museums- before the attack and the attack and a film also. All were great. We paid nothing. It was incredible. Very moving.

"Cumbersome Reservation Process"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 04, 2025
Because of the lack of clear information on how to experience this memorial we booked this as part of an organized tour of multiple local offerings. The boat ride to the memorial is not that comfortable because they use every available seat (and a couple of overflow seats) on the large shuttle. They allow you to visit the memorial for only as long as it takes for your boat to return and pick up the next group (about 15 minutes).
